Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method of making a MEMS device (40) requiring more than one cavity (20', 20"), each cavity having different atmospheres in terms of pressure and/or composition, and a MEMS device having cavities (20', 20") with different atmospheres. The different atmospheres are obtained by combined use of gettering structures (26) and implanted gaseous species (28), which upon thermal activation removes unwanted species (gettering) from cavities (20', 20") and provides controlled atmosphere by release of implanted gas in the cavities (20', 20").
